numbers into char fields" and bug #12860 "Difference in zero padding of
exponent between Unix and Windows"
Rewrote the code that determines what 'precision' argument should be
passed to sprintf() to fit the string representation of the input number
into the field.
We get finer control over conversion by pre-calculating the exponent, so
we are able to determine which conversion format, 'e' or 'f', will be
used by sprintf().
We also remove the leading zero from the exponent on Windows to make it
compatible with the sprintf() output on other platforms.
Server failed in assert() when we tried to create a DECIMAL() temp field
with a scale of more than the allowed 30. Now we limit the scale to the
allowed maximum. A truncation warning is thrown as necessary.
JOIN, and ORDER BY
Problem: improper maximum length calculation of the CASE function leads to
decimal value truncation (storing/retrieving decimal field values).
Fix: accurately calculate maximum length/unsigned flag/decimals parameters
of the CASE function.

Problem: if a partial unique key followed by a non-partial one we declare
the second one as a primary key.
Fix: sort non-partial unique keys before partial ones.
Problem: lying to the optimizer that a function (Item_func_inet_ntoa)
cannot return NULL values leads to unexpected results (in the case group
keys creation/comparison is broken).
Fix: Item_func_inet_ntoa::maybe_null should be set properly.
Previously, UDF *_init functions were passed constant strings with erroneous lengths. The length came from the containing variable's size, not the length of the value itself.
Now the *_init functions get the constant as a null terminated string with the correct length supplied too.
CPUs / Intel's ICC compile
The bug is a combination of two problems:
1. IA64/ICC MySQL binaries use glibc's qsort(), not the one in mysys.
2. The order relation implemented by join_tab_cmp() is not transitive,
i.e. it is possible to choose such a, b and c that (a < b) && (b < c)
but (c < a). This implies that result of a sort using the relation
implemented by join_tab_cmp() depends on the order in which
elements are compared, i.e. the result is implementation-specific. Since
choose_plan() uses qsort() to pre-sort the
join tables using join_tab_cmp() as a compare function, the results of
the sorting may vary depending on qsort() implementation.
It is neither possible nor important to implement a better ordering
algorithm in join_tab_cmp(). Therefore the only way to fix it is to
force our own qsort() to be used by renaming it to my_qsort(), so we don't depend
on linker to decide that.
This patch also "fixes" bug #20530: qsort redefinition violates the
standard.
The root cause of the issue was that the CREATE FUNCTION grammar,
for User Defined Functions, was using the sp_name rule.
The sp_name rule is intended for fully qualified stored procedure names,
like either ident.ident, or just ident but with a default database
implicitly selected.
A UDF does not have a fully qualified name, only a name (ident), and should
not use the sp_name grammar fragment during parsing.
The fix is to re-organize the CREATE FUNCTION grammar, to better separate:
- creating UDF (no definer, can have AGGREGATE, simple ident)
- creating Stored Functions (definer, no AGGREGATE, fully qualified name)
With the test case provided, another issue was exposed which is also fixed:
the DROP FUNCTION statement was using sp_name and also failing when no database
is implicitly selected, when droping UDF functions.
The fix is also to change the grammar so that DROP FUNCTION works with
both the ident.ident syntax (to drop a stored function), or just the ident
syntax (to drop either a UDF or a Stored Function, in the current database)
If mysql_lock_tables fails because the lock was aborted, we need to
reset thd->some_tables_delete, otherwise we might loop indefinitely
because handler's tables are not closed in a standard way, meaning
that close_thread_tables() (which resets some_tables_deleted) is not
used.
This patch fixes sporadical failures of handler_myisam/innodb tests
which were introduced by previous fix for this bug.
Options to mysqld were not processed correctly because switch statement
was missing some "break"s. CS adds them.
No test case; would require .opt file and server restart. Manually tested.
Problem: GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT BIT_FIELD...) uses a tree to store keys;
which are constructed using a temporary table fields,
see Item_func_group_concat::setup().
As a) we don't store null bits in the tree where the bit fields store parts
of their data and b) there's no method to properly compare two table records
we've got problem.
Fix: convert BIT fields to INT in the temporary table used.
Bug#29816 Syntactically wrong query fails with misleading error message
The core problem is that an SQL-invoked function name can be a <schema
qualified routine name> that contains no <schema name>, but the mysql
parser insists that all stored procedures (function, procedures and
triggers) must have a <schema name>, which is not true for functions.
This problem is especially visible when trying to create a function
or when a query contains a syntax error after a function call (in the
same query), both will fail with a "No database selected" message if
the session is not attached to a particular schema, but the first
one should succeed and the second fail with a "syntax error" message.
Part of the fix is to revamp the sp name handling so that a schema
name may be omitted for functions -- this means that the internal
function name representation may not have a dot, which represents
that the function doesn't have a schema name. The other part is
to place schema checks after the type (function, trigger or procedure)
of the routine is known.
This deadlock occurs when a client issues a HANDLER ... OPEN statement
that tries to open a table that has a pending name-lock on it by another
client that also needs a name-lock on some other table which is already
open and associated to a HANDLER instance owned by the first client.
The deadlock happens because the open_table() function will back-off
and wait until the name-lock goes away, causing a circular wait if some
other name-lock is also pending for one of the open HANDLER tables.
Such situation, for example, can be easily repeated by issuing a RENAME
TABLE command in such a way that the existing table is already open
as a HANDLER table by another client and this client tries to open
a HANDLER to the new table name.
The solution is to allow handler tables with older versions (marked for
flush) to be closed before waiting for the name-lock completion. This is
safe because no other name-lock can be issued between the flush and the
check for pending name-locks.
The test case for this bug is going to be committed into 5.1 because it
requires a test feature only avaiable in 5.1 (wait_condition).
bitmap_is_set(table->write_set, fiel
Problem: creating a temporary table we allocate the group buffer if needed
followed by table bitmaps (see create_tmp_table()). Reserving less memory for
the group buffer than actually needed (used) for values retrieval may lead
to overlapping with followed bitmaps in the memory pool that in turn leads
to unpredictable consequences.
As we use Item->max_length sometimes to calculate group buffer size,
it must be set to proper value. In this particular case
Item_datetime_typecast::max_length is too small.
Another problem is that we use max_length to calculate the group buffer
key length for items represented as DATE/TIME fields which is superfluous.
Fix: set Item_datetime_typecast::max_length properly,
accurately calculate the group buffer key length for items
represented as DATE/TIME fields in the buffer.
Our web server has been restructured several times, and references

DuBois updates all URLs to modern semantics.
